Ranking the fastest stars ever measured at the NBA Draft Combine
Speed is an important predictor of success in the NBA, particularly for guards, which is why officials measure prospects’ lane-agility time and three-quarter sprint times every year.
And with the NBA Draft Combine having just passed, we decided to take a look at some of the fastest times measured for some of the league’s current and former All-Stars, including Dwyane Wade, John Wall and James Harden.
To determine speed, we added up both the players’ lane-agility time and three-quarter sprint times.
You’re in for some surprises, which further prove you have to take combine results with a grain of salt.
